Re: Important 80 inches!!!

Being capable of exceeding 80" is not a violation of any rules. Inspectors have only been asked to identify robots that are capable of breaking that rule during competition. It's up to the referees to ultimately enforce the 80" rule. Inspectors are simply flagging the potentional violators for the refs.

A good example of this - a robot has a pair of arms (one fore and one aft) that exceeds 80" when simultaneously extended. As long as they only extend 1 at a time during the competition, they won't violate the rule.
